Hi Guys
I am having a strange problem with lm-sensors post migration to vanilla-sources 2.4.21 upgrade. I had lm-sensors working with 2.4.20r5 but get a strange compile error with the new kernel.
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.7.0-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 40, Exitcode 2
!!! lm_sensors requires the source of a compatible kernel\nversion installed in /usr/src/linux and >=i2c-2.7.0 support built as a modules this support is included in gentoo-sources as of 2.4.20-r1
I checked the forums for a clue and one post suggested needing to replace i2c headers in /usr/include/linux but the version number in those files appear to suggest that they are already at 2.7.0 so I shouldn't need to do this.
I definitely have i2c as modules in my kernel output from lsmod
genlinux root # lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
i2c-proc 7280 0
i2c-core 13604 0 [i2c-proc]
printer 7488 0
nvidia 1541984 10
sr_mod 14392 0
cdrom 29600 0 [sr_mod]
sg 28428 0 (unused)
ide-scsi 10512 0
Any clues  would be much appreciated as this is driving me mad.  |

i think you must use the 2.4.20 for the sensors
go back to the 2.4.20
or wait to a patch for the 2.4.20 |

Had some probleems too:
I emerged i2c-2.7.0 (should not be necessary, really) and lm_sensors,
and had a look at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16847
This fixed the problem. |

If you look at the bug report, you'll see that I've posted an alternative - much less painful it is.

Thanks alex. I wonder why these headers were not updated. I'm using the 2.4.20-pre4 (pfeifer sources). And this fix worked.
More to the point, here's the bug fix, without having to scour bugzilla.
Alex's bug fix:

Alternatively, try this:
cd /usr/include
# move 2.4.19 headers out of the way
mv asm asm.old
mv linux linux.old
# put our kernel headers in the way
ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/asm .
ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/linux .
emerge i2c
emerge lm-sensors
And it should work. |
Now I can finally see the temp during a full load. Time to see how much I can oc this k6-2.
Thanks again.
